Charlize Theron enjoys playing evil

Hollywood beauty Charlize Theron says she is enjoying the current phase of her career where she is playing evil characters. The 36-year-old actress is playing evil queen Ravenna in Snow White and the Huntsman, a new and dark take on the popular fairy tale, Femalefirst reported.

"We have innately bad human behaviours that sometimes we can explain and justify. It's easy to say someone's an idiot because they had this, this and this happen to them, so we have to forgive them. But what if someone was just an idiot? That's interesting to me," she said.

The actress stars with Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth in the movie. This is just one of the projects Theron has this summer. She is also starring in Ridley Scott's new sci-fi epic Prometheus alongside Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace.
